The Region

Why Daylesford, by group.

Daylesford sits in the volcanic highlands of central Victoria, surrounded by state forest, organic farms and a concentration of mineral springs that have drawn visitors since the gold rush. Today it is known for its day spas, cool-climate cellar doors and a food culture that punches well above the town's population. For groups, the appeal is simple: a day that leaves everyone feeling significantly better than when they departed.

Our Mercedes Sprinter seats up to 12 and is the ideal vehicle for a Daylesford day trip. For larger groups, an Isuzu coach can be arranged through our trusted partner network.

Sample Day

Daylesford, slowly.

9:00

Departure from Melbourne

Pickup from your Melbourne address or hotel. The drive north-west through the Western Ring Road and Macedon Ranges takes around 90 minutes.

10:30

First cellar door — Macedon Ranges or Daylesford

The Macedon Ranges wine region sits on the route to Daylesford. A morning stop at a small producer there — before Daylesford itself — adds variety to the day. The cool climate suits sparkling wines and pinot noir particularly well.

12:30

Long lunch at Daylesford

Daylesford has a surprising concentration of excellent restaurants for its size. We suggest booking for groups; the better tables fill quickly at weekends. The local produce — duck, quail, truffles, local cheeses — is worth the effort.

14:30

Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa

The Hepburn Bathhouse sits above a mineral spring in a heritage building. The public bathing pools are bookable by groups; private bathing suites are available for more intimate occasions. We drop off and collect at your preferred time.

16:30

Second cellar door or town walk

Daylesford's main street has galleries, antique shops and a pleasant afternoon energy. A second cellar door in the late afternoon, or a walk through the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, rounds the day out before the return drive.

18:00

Return to Melbourne

A quiet drive home through the Calder Freeway. Drop-offs to individual addresses if needed.
